SUMMARY:Sensational Songwriting: The Art and Craft of Song (Live & Online)
DESCRIPTION:Have you always wanted to write songs but were too intimated? Or\, are you a professional songwriter longing for accountability and feedback? \nHow do we know if an idea is solid enough to inspire a song? What’s the difference between a ballad and a 3 minute pop song? What are our choices when it comes to rhyming schemes and how do we maintain a flow when scanning lyrics to melody? How do we write a thrilling pre-chorus and what makes a song have an impact? \nArt is usually not created in a void. We need others for inspiration\, tool ideas and feedback. In each session we will learn a new skill\, share what we are working on\, and gain valuable feedback. Think of this class as part tool building and part market research. See how others respond to your songs to see if you are getting your message across effectively and powerfully. \nI teach from a place of positivity\, generosity and inspiration. Expect passion\, connection and fun! \nSchedule \nTuesday\, June 16\, 3 pm – 4:30 pm\nTuesday\, June 23\, 3 pm – 4:30 pm\nTuesday\, June 30\, 3 pm – 4:30 pm\nTuesday\, July 7\, 3 pm – 4:30 pm \nAthena’s music is often compared to Annie Lennox\, Adele and Lady Gaga. Her music videos charted #1 on MTV LOGO and her song “Love is Love” won Best Pop Song at the Outmusic Awards. Nominations include Artist of the Year\, Album of the Year and Humanitarian Songwriter of the Year. She has toured across North America and Europe and shared the stage with Sarah McLachlan\, Jim Carrey and Janeane Garofalo. She has released 5 albums and 3 dance EP’s. Her lyrics are on display at the International Museum for Peace and Solidarity in Uzbekistan and she was commissioned to write poetry for the New York Aquarium by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Her music has also been accepted into the New York Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Centre. She holds a BFA in Music from Concordia University\, and deepened her craft through master classes at the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York.

SUMMARY:QWF Workshop - The Art of Literary Translation
DESCRIPTION:For those with a solid mastery of French and English\, writing ability in English\, and an interest in literature.  \n  \nIn this workshop we\, will explore literary translation from French to English: fiction\, nonfiction\, poetry\, and songs. \n  \n  \nWe will look at contemporary literature from Quebec and France\, as well as some older (nineteenth and twentieth century) texts. Sources may include Gabrielle Roy\, Anne Hébert\, Annie Ernaux\, and Samuel Archibald. We will start by looking at an excerpt of a literary text in French and reading a published English translation of it. What difficulties (such as euphony\, voice\, word play\, and verb tense) did the translator face\, and how successful was she or he? At each meeting\, there will be time to produce your own translations\, often in groups. We will read our work aloud and comment on difficulties and strokes of inspiration. Participants will have the opportunity to translate a further passage from the same work (or from another) as a homework assignment for the next meeting. The corrected assignments provide individual feedback and lead to discussion of the issues encountered. \n  \nDuring the course of the workshop\, you’ll be asked to present a passage you have translated\, \ncommenting on the issues it presents\, and describing ways of solving these issues. This is an ideal opportunity to begin or pursue a project you intend to submit to a publisher.
